DETECTIVE CONAN ONLINE

Summary

Case Closed

Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン?, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, is a Japanese detective manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. The series is serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday since February 2, 1994, and has been collected in 73 tankōbon volumes as of September 2011. Due to legal considerations with the name Detective Conan, the English language release was renamed Case Closed.[1] The story follows the adventures of Jimmy Kudo, a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child after being poisoned.

Since its publication, Case Closed has spawned a substantial media franchise. The manga has been adapted into an ongoing animated television series by Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and TMS Entertainment; the animated series has reached its twentieth season. The series has spawned three original video animation series, fifteen animated feature films, three live action dramas, one live action series, numerous video games, and many types of Case Closed-related merchandise. A two-hour television special titled Lupin the 3rd vs Detective Conan was aired on March 27, 2009, and featured a crossover with the series Lupin III.

Funimation Entertainment licensed the anime series for North American broadcast in 2003 under the name Case Closed with the characters given Americanized names. The anime premiered on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block and was discontinued due to low ratings. The first six films were released on Region 1 DVD in North America. Viz Media later licensed the manga series for English-language publication in North America and used Funimation's renamed title and cast. As of July 2011, 39 volumes have been published by Viz Media.

Compilation volumes of the manga have sold more than 120 million copies in Japan. In 2001, the manga was awarded 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category. The anime adaptation has been well received and ranked in the top twenty in Animage's polls between 1996 and 2001. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Case Closed often ranked in the top six. Both manga and anime have had positive response from critics for its plot and cases.

Plot

Jimmy Kudo is a 17-year-old high school prodigy who frequently helps the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is attacked by two criminals, codenamed Gin and Vodka, from the syndicate called the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, APTX 4869, which is supposed to kill him, and leave him to die. A rare side-effect of the poison, however, transforms Kudo's body into that of a child instead of killing him.

Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, Kudo hides his identity to investigate the Black Organization. He intends to pretend to be a child until he can find enough evidence to apprehend the syndicate, after which he can then safely find and administer a cure for his current condition. Edogawa enrolls at Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class: Amy Yoshida, Mitch Tsuburaya, and George Kojima. To further cover up his activities, he moves in with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, whose father, Richard, works as a private investigator. Kudo continues to solve criminal cases as Conan, but usually poses as Richard Moore with the help of special gadgets invented by his neighbor and friend, Hiroshi Agasa.

Shiho Miyano, a member of the Black Organization and creator of APTX 4869, tries to leave the syndicate after her sister's murder, but is held captive by them. She attempts to commit suicide by ingesting APTX 4869; however, like Kudo, she is transformed into a child. She manages to escape and enrolls in Conan's school under the pseudonym, Anita Hailey. She joins the Junior Detective League and assists Conan in his investigations on the Black Organization. Conan's quest has led him to help the FBI to plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as an undercover spy.

In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had the ending planned out but he has no intention of ending the series yet.

Episode 40: The Wealthy Daughter Murder Case (P2)

Scenario: Reika is removed from the bathtub where she drowned. Kogoro examines the body and finds that unlike the murder of Steve and the attack on Ran, Reika had been tied up with rope and duct tape. What's more, her clothes were soaking wet. Kogoro analyzes the facts and find that the murder took place around 5 to 6 A.M. This cleared suitors Donald Hiblar and Michael Stewart along with the maid Nonee. At that time, however, suitors Dirk Copeland and Quentin Mifune were not present. Dirk noticed Quentin heading in the direction of the bathroom but Quentin denies entering the bathroom at all. Then by accident, Conan turns on the water and the showerhead comes on. Kogoro scolds Conan and warns him he will get wet. With that statement, Conan has realized the way Reika was killed. To find the killer, he puts Kogoro to sleep and proclaims he's solved the case. He asks the suitors to remove their suit jackets. Conan notices where water stains are located on the mens' shirts. Conan deducts that suitor Donald Hiblar is the murderer. First, Donald rejoined Steve in the search for Reika, giving Donald the perfect opportunity to murder him. Next, he made it look like the murderer had cut the power and escaped through the window. He set this up by causing a power surge and breaking the window. Donald's next act was to drug Ran's tea. While everyone believed Ran was attacked for a reason, there was none. Donald had chosen a victim at random because all he wanted was a witness to confirm she was drowned the same way Steve was. Finally, there was Reika. While it appeared that all three murder were done the same, each was unique in different ways. Reika was tied up, duct taped and the showerhead was turned on to insure Donald's alibi. The evidence is on his shirt elbows where the water stained when he removed Reika. He confesses and says Sonja was murdered by Steve and Reika and this was merely revenge. Nonee, while devastated at this revelation, disapproves of Donald's actions.
